Morning everyone, i should be starting my grow next week finally! Ive been doing a bit of looking around and everyone seems to have a different set up for taking the oudor out and cooling the lights. Anyway know what is the best way of doing this?
I have two cool tubes so i was going to do it like Cf--cooltube--cooltube--extraction fan--out... Is this the right way??
Sorry for the noob questions and thanks for your time everyone :)

Here are other ways ive been l ooking at.

Yes it is, I ran a similar set-up and my smell was cleaned right out of the air - what I do recommend, is possibly a smaller inline fan before the first cool-tube or in betwen both of them. I used a 84CFM in-line booster.. it helps more with cooling than it does with smell. Remember, you're pulling that hot air from the first bulb over the second.. so you might get some "heat patches".. typically not enough to cause issue, but enough that you'll notice with your hand.

Bumping your posts then deleting the bump is no different than just leaving it there.. Patience is a virtue!
 
Hey Briain,

I have a similar set-up as this below in two tents, works well. And some one had a tent collapse from the fan weight.

In the tent, air draw starts at the Filter, then hose to an inline booster fan attached to the light, blowing right in on the bulb, Hose out of tent to a Hurricane fan, mounted outside the tent to the rooms ceiling, Hose to a duct muffler pipe thru the ceiling into attic with a draft damper to finish.

At this time (winter) I dont use the booster fan but I will need it in the summer. The muffler is a great investment, brought the sound of 2 fans way down, the mississ said she has had fish tanks that were louder.

Luckily I am able to mount the big fan outside the tent, Seems kinda sketchy inside, though many do it. Everything is 6 inch.

:peace:

Much Apreciated guys thank you very much.
 
Ok so the question is really which one of theese set ups would you recommend?
1. All in one set up
(carbon Filter) -----(TT 100 Fan)----(cool Tube)---(cool tube)-----(Prima Klima Dual Speed extraction Fan)--out

OR

2. Seperate Set ups
(Carbon Filter)-----(prima Klima Dual Speed Extraction Fan)----out
outside----(TT100 fan)----(cool tube)-----(cool tube)---outside.

Which works best for you guys??
